Build A Shed


I have been building sheds and making things with wood for more years than I’d like to recall! I got the woodworking bug from my pop and it’s allowed me to have great memories of him as well as develop new memories with my own children (and grandchildren).

I’m constantly being asked by my friends for tips on various woodworking projects they’re working on and I’m always happy to help. Late last year, one of my neighbors, Bob, decided he wanted a new shed in his backyard.

Bob and I had chatted before about woodwork and I knew that Bob didn’t have much experience in the woodworking department. Being the neighborly sort, I checked-in with Bob to see if he wanted any help (and to give me something fun to do!). And do you know what? I was pretty blown away with what I saw.

Not only had Bob already started putting everything together, he’d done a great job at it too! Anyway, this got me a bit suspicious – did Bob buy the shed in sections and put it together himself? I was getting ready to call his bluff when he said to me:

“I’ve spent less on the raw materials for this shed than I ever spent on ready-made sheds in the past. I’ve literally saved myself hundreds of dollars”

Well, the cost-saving didn’t surprise me. What did surprise me was that Bob had made the shed by himself. I demanded to know how he’d done it and he showed me a print-out of a shed plan he’d downloaded from My Shed Plans Elite.

I took a look at the plans and not only were they detailed with everything you’d need to know, but they were all laid out in really easy-to-understand sections.

On returning home, I immediately purchased my own copy, which I have been using ever since. There are literally 12,000 shed plans and other woodworking patterns contained in the download. I have way more projects to do than I have time to do them in.

I really can’t recommend My Shed Plans Elite more, so why don’t you check out their site by clicking here. Let me know what you think.

Happy woodworking!
